rereading Burnett's The Shuttle

[castiron]

This is just to say that Sir Nigel Anstruthers is one of the most vile characters I've ever encountered in fiction. I like a lot of parts of The Shuttle, but if I want a comfortable read, I'll pull up T. Tembarom instead. Sir Nigel is up there with Tien Vorsoisson in the "if your real-life partner starts treating you like this, run now" lessonbook.

I trust you have read Aurora Floyd by ME Braddon?

Not yet -- you've just reminded me that the first epub that I found online turned out to be a crap OCR job. Better epub has now been found and is loading onto my reader.
